Opening up access to research was just the
beginning of a much larger movement where the
free exchange of scientific communication mirrors
more closely the collaborative environment of the
research community. Looking back at the building
blocks, we can chart our collective responsibilities
to match the speed and convergence of scientific
publishing, the research enterprise, and the
globalization of technology. In her keynote,
Louise Page will provide a perspective for how
publishers and the research library community
can collectively address the challenges ahead
through partnership and aligned purpose to
better serve our communities.
